SUMMARY

This summary provides an overview of what are, in the opinion of the Issuer, the main risks associated
with the Issuer and the notes (the "Notes") and the certificates (the "Certificates") and the warrants
(the "Warrants") (together, the "Securities") issued by the Issuer under this Programme. This
summary is not exhaustive. It should be read as an introduction to this Programme. Investors should
base any decision to invest in the Securities on a review of this Information Memorandum as a whole
(including any supplements thereto) as well as the relevant final terms (the "Final Terms") and
especial y the risk factors contained therein.

Commerzbank Aktiengesel schaft (the "Issuer", the "Bank" or "Commerzbank" and, together with its
consolidated subsidiaries, "Commerzbank Group" or the "Group") may have civil liability in respect of
this summary; such liability, however, applies only if the summary and the translation (if any) are
misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of this Information
Memorandum and the relevant Final Terms.

Where a claim relating to information contained in this Information Memorandum and the relevant
Final Terms is brought before a court in a member state of the European Economic Area, the plaintiff
investor may, under the national legislation of such member state, be required to bear the costs of
translating this Information Memorandum (including any supplements thereto) and the relevant Final
Terms before the legal proceedings are initiated.

A.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE
SECURITIES

The purchase of Securities issued under this Programme is associated with certain risks. The Issuer
expressly points out that the description of the risks associated with an investment in the
Securities only mentions the major risks that are known to the Issuer at the date of this
Information Memorandum. The description of the risks associated with an investment in the
Securities does not purport to be exhaustive.

In addition, the order in which such risks are presented does not indicate the extent of their potential
commercial effects in the event that they are realised, or the likelihood of their realisation. The
realisation of one or more of said risks may adversely affect the value of the Securities themselves
and/or the assets, finances and profits of Commerzbank Group. This could have also a negative
influence on the value of the Securities.

Moreover, additional risks that are not known at the date of this Information Memorandum or currently
believed to be immaterial could likewise have an adverse effect on the value of the Securities.

The occurrence of one or more of the risks disclosed in this Information Memorandum, any
supplement and/or the relevant Final Terms or any additional risks may lead to a material and
sustained loss and, depending on the structure of the Security, even result in partial loss or even the
total loss of the capital invested by the investor.

Investors should purchase the Securities only if they are able to bear the risk of losing the
capital invested, including any transaction costs incurred.

Potential investors in the Securities must in each case determine the suitability of the relevant
investment in light of their own personal and financial situation. In particular, potential investors should
in each case:


have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Securities,
the merits and risks of investing in the Securities and/or the information contained or
incorporated by reference in this Information Memorandum or any applicable supplement and
all the information contained in the relevant Final Terms;


have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear al of the risks associated with an
investment in the Securities;

3




understand thoroughly the terms and conditions pertaining to the Securities (the "Terms and
Conditions") and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant underlying share, index, metal
(i.e., precious and industrial metal), futures contract, bond, currency exchange rate, interest
rate, fund or a basket of underlyings or an index that is composed of any of the aforementioned
values, commodities or rates (each an "Underlying") and the financial markets; and


be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect the value of their investment and be
able to bear the associated risks.

These risk warnings do not substitute advice by the investor's bank or by the investor's legal, business
or tax advisers, which should in any event be obtained by the investor in order to be able to assess the
consequences of an investment in the Securities. Prospective investors of the Securities should
consider their current financial circumstances and investment objectives and always consult their own
financial, legal and tax advisers with regard to the suitability of such Securities in light of their personal
circumstances before acquiring such Securities.

Expressions defined or used in the Terms and Conditions or elsewhere in the Summary and the
Information Memorandum shal have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the section
"Summary".

The Securities issued under this Programme are subject to - potential y major - price fluctuations and
may involve the risk of a complete or partial loss of the invested capital (including the costs incurred
in connection with the purchase of the Securities). Since interest (in the case of Notes) or the
Redemption Amount or the Cash Amount (in the case of Warrants) and/or any additional amounts are
linked to one or more Underlying(s) or to one or more formulae ("Structured Securities"), the risk
associated with the investment in the Securities will be increased. Thus, any investment in the
Securities is an investment that might not be suitable for all investors.

Investors should especially note that the past performance of an Underlying should not be
regarded as an indicator of its future performance.

The Securities have complex structures which the investor might not fully understand. The investor
might therefore underestimate the actual risk that is associated with a purchase of the Securities.
Therefore, potential investors should study carefully the risks associated with an investment in the
Securities (with regard to the Issuer, the type of Securities and/or the Underlying(s)), as wel as any
other information contained in this Information Memorandum, any supplements thereto as wel as the
relevant Final Terms, and possibly consult their personal (including tax) advisors. Prior to purchasing
Securities, potential investors should ensure that they fully understand the mechanics of the relevant
Securities and that they are able to assess and bear the risk of a loss (possibly a total loss) of their
investment. Prospective purchasers of Securities should in each case consider carefully whether the
Securities are suitable for them in the light of their individual circumstances and financial position.

It is possible that the performance of the Securities is adversely affected by several risk factors at the
same time. The Issuer, however, is unable to make any reliable prediction on such combined effects.

Certain factors are of great significance with regard to the assessment of the risks associated with an
investment in the Securities issued under this Programme. These encompass both risks relating to the
Underlying(s) and risks that are unique to the Securities as such.

Such risks include inter alia,

-
that the payments to be made under the Terms and Conditions of the Securities depend on the
performance of one or more Underlying(s), so that the Redemption Amount or the Cash
Amount, as the case may be, payable at the Maturity Date may be lower than the original
purchase price of the Securities or it could be possible that a payment may not take place at all.
As the Securities are linked to the performance of one or more Underlying(s), the performance
of the Underlying also has an effect on the value of the Securities. The value of the Securities
can be positively or inversely correlated to the performance of the Underlying (without taking
into account special characteristics of the Securities);
4




-
that, pursuant to the Terms and Conditions, payments under and/or the redemption of the
Securities can occur at times other than those expected by the investor (e.g., in the case of an
early termination in the event of an extraordinary event as described in the Terms and
Conditions);

-
that investors may be unable to hedge their exposure to the various risks relating to the
Securities;

-
that an Underlying to which the Securities relate ceases to exist during the term of the
Securities or might be replaced by another Underlying, and that the investor might not always
know the future Underlying or its composition when purchasing the Securities; and

-
that the value of Securities on a possible secondary market is subject to greater fluctuations and
thus greater risks than the value of other securities as it is dependent on one or more
Underlying(s). The performance of an Underlying is in turn subject to a series of factors beyond
the Issuer's control. Such factors are influenced to a significant degree by the risks on the
share, debt and foreign exchange markets, the interest rate development, the volatility of the
Underlying(s) as wel as economic, political and regulatory risks, and/or a combination of the
aforesaid risks. The secondary market for Securities will be affected by a number of additional
factors, irrespective of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the value of the respective
Underlying. These include, without limitation, the volatility of the relevant Underlying, as well as
the remaining term and the outstanding volume of the respective Securities.

For a more detailed overview of the risks relating to the Securities and the Issuer investors should
consult the section "Risk Factors" further below.

the successor institutions created as part of the post-war breakup in 1952. COMMERZBANK's
registered office is in Frankfurt am Main and its head office is at Kaiserstraße 16 (Kaiserplatz),
60311 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Tel. +49-69-136-20. It is entered in the commercial register of the
Local Court of Frankfurt am Main under the number HRB 32000. The Bank's legal name is
COMMERZBANK Aktiengesellschaft. In its business dealings, the Bank uses the name
COMMERZBANK. The Bank was established under German law for an indefinite period. A full
description of Commerzbank Aktiengesel schaft is set out in the Registration Document which is
incorporated by reference into, and forms part of this Information Memorandum (see "Documents
incorporated by reference").


Issuer's principal activities

COMMERZBANK sees itself as one of Germany's leading banks for private and corporate clients as
measured by total assets and an international y active commercial bank. It has one of the densest
branch networks of all German private-sector banks, serving all customer groups. With two core

a comprehensive portfolio of banking and capital market services. Alongside its business in Germany,
the Bank is also active internationally through its subsidiaries, branches and investments. However,

Historical financial information

The audited consolidated financial statements of COMMERZBANK Group for the financial years
ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 are incorporated by reference into, and form part
of, this Information Memorandum (see "Documents incorporated by reference").


Interim financial information

COMMERZBANK's reviewed interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month
period ended 31 March 2019 are incorporated by reference into, and form part of, this Information
Memorandum (see "Documents incorporated by reference")


Trend information

There has been no material adverse change in the prospects of COMMERZBANK Group since
31 December 2018.


Legal and arbitration proceedings

The companies in the Group are involved as defendant, claimant or in another capacity in court,
arbitration and regulatory proceedings in both Germany and other countries (including the United
States). There are also other legal disputes in which the Bank or its subsidiaries are not directly
involved, but which could have an impact on the Group due to their fundamental importance for the
banking industry.
T
he Group recognizes provisions for potential losses from contingent liabilities in accordance with the
relevant accounting rules. However, the Group's final actual liability may differ from the provisions that
have been recognised, as a high degree of judgement is involved in assessing the probability of
uncertain liabilities in such legal proceedings and quantifying them. These estimates may turn out to
be inaccurate at a later stage of the proceedings.

Save as disclosed in the Registration Document which is incorporated by reference into, and forms
part of this Information Memorandum (see "Documents incorporated by reference"), under `Description
of Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft' starting with `Legal disputes' and ending with `Payment order for
compensation claim under General Terms and Conditions of Business' (pp. 34 ­ 40), as supplemented
or amended by any supplement to the Registration Document, as the case may be, the
COMMERZBANK is not currently aware of any government interventions, lawsuits, or arbitration
proceedings which have arisen or been concluded in the past twelve months (including proceedings
which to COMMERZBANK's knowledge are pending or could be initiated) in which COMMERZBANK
or one of its subsidiaries is involved as defendant or in any other capacity and which are currently
having or have recently had a material impact on the financial position or profitability of the Bank or the
Group.


Significant change in the financial position

There has been no significant change in the financial position of the COMMERZBANK Group since
31 March 2019.

Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the New York State
Department of Financial Services (the "U.S. Authorities") (as further set out on page 162 of
the Second Update to the 2018 Registration Document), regarding certain U.S. dollar
transactions processed by Société Générale involving countries that are the subject of U.S.
economic sanctions (the "U.S. Sanctions Matter"), Société Générale has entered into a
phase of more active discussions with these U.S. Authorities with a view to reaching a
resolution of this matter within the coming weeks.
Within the provision for disputes amounting to EUR 1.43 billion, approximately 1.1 billion in
Euro equivalent is allocated to the U.S. Sanctions Matter, in accordance with IFRS standards.
At this stage, Société Générale expects that the amount of the penalties in the U.S. Sanctions
